boingy

My doctor's appointment on Tuesday went well. It wasn't a huge one; the doctor just listened to the heartbeat -- a fast 130something per minute -- and talked about how the pregnancy was going so far.

I had another appointment yesterday at the university medical center downtown to have a first trimester screening ultrasound. It wasn't required but we decided to go ahead and do it. Everything they look for in the ultrasound came out fine, and we got to see the Taco again. For the first time, it looked like an actual baby!


It was really awesome to watch the Taco move and jump around. It really did like to jump -- boingy, boingy, boingy! It's about two inches long right now. How cool.

Sadly, we won't be able to peek inside again until our next ultrasound at 20 weeks, sometime in mid-February. Then we'll be able to find out the sex. Exciting!

Yeah, I hadn't really dropped off the face of the earth or anything. These past few weeks have just been so tiring. It's amazing how quickly I get tired lately, but I think that is starting to wear off. There were some days where I would come home from work and absolutely fall asleep on the couch, wake up long enough to eat some dinner, then go to bed.

My next doctor's appointment is tomorrow, so hopefully that will go smoothly.

It's been hard to do stuff for Christmas this year, mainly because of the tired thing. It took us forever to finally go shopping. Now we've shopped, but I've still got to wrap presents. I'm going to try to do a little bit each day. I've got about a week to get it done! The cats already tried to get into one of their shipped packages.

Crazy to think that this time next year there'll be a six month old crawling around, trying to get into the litter box. Hopefully we'll have found a better place for that. With one cat, just the smell alone will chase you out of the room. God knows what her little nuggets taste like.
